Now is the winter of our discard-beds
2 GoodGymers made their way to help an isolated older person in Lambeth.
- Monday, 11th of November 2019
There was a decided nip in the air tonight as I met up with Sophie for an after-work mission in Lambeth for Mrs S.
Mrs S is currently in hospital and needs a hospital bed installed in her home in order to be released. To facilitate this, a double divan bed needed to be removed. As her husband, Mr S, was unable to do this by himself, GoodGym were asked if we could help.
It's difficult to understate exactly how quickly we got through this task. Certainly the speed isn't reflected in the brevity of this report (although maybe it's all relative).
Sticking to the bare facts:
• Mr S had already disassembled everything for us by our arrival time, so we only had to carry things downstairs and out
• We used my backpack to prop open the entryway to Ms S's block of flats to save time buzzing up, and
• We were finished within 10 minutes.
Hopefully all of this means that Ms S can be back home soon (almost at the speed of GoodGymmers removing furniture).
Lovely seeing you again, Sophie (albeit briefly!)
